5 12.36% ((5-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-5)/(40-1)*0.126)
10 12.06% ((10-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-10)/(40-1)*0.126)
20 11.45% ((20-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-20)/(40-1)*0.126)
The formula for the return on assets is calculated by dividing the net income by the total average assets. The profit margin and total asset sales can also be represented as a consequence of this ratio. For the calculation of the total asset return, either formula may be used.

Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
<em>Geometric average return</em>
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923
× 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17
%
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Answer:
Differentiate their products
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
examples of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopolistic firm in the food industry acting in their own self-interest, will often include a recyclable symbol on packaging used for their product to Differentiate their products. This is meant to communicate to consumers that they are different from other firms in the industry
Price elasticity can be calculated using the attached formula where:
the first term represents the % change in quantity and the second term represents the % change in price
% change in quantity = (100-120) / (220/2) = -2/11 x 100 = -18.1818%
% change in price = (7-5) / (12/2) = 33.3333%
price elasticity = 18.1818/33.3333 = 0.55Note that the price elasticity is usually taken as an absolute value.
